    I like how the kid out in the crowd bobbing his head just found his calling and is going home to ask his Mom for a set of turntables. Music is a beautiful thing. Sometimes the kid who just can't pay attention in class needs some other form of input like the arts. This is the way I felt when I saw my first Orlando breakbeat DJ back in 98. I was hooked from then on with messing with beats. As you can tell, at 36 now, I'm still at it. I am glad at least some kids like my own get exposed to this music form in a healthy way.

    I give this young man respect in having the courage to perform live mixing to a crowd of his peers. He's got a lot of the basics down to make transitions. I've been a DJ for over thirty years in clubs and pioneered mobile djing in the 80's and I say he has the passion to be an innovator.

    People need to give this kid a break. First of all, unless you are a turntablist or are into controllerism like Richie Hawtin, there are not a lot of crazy things to demonstrate during a presentation. You honestly won't see the biggest DJs doing much more than this at festivals or clubs. Secondly, he is presenting to a group of teenagers for 10 MINUTES. If he were to go in depth about all the intricacies of DJing and cover all of the functions of the mixer, they would have no clue what he is talking about and be super bored. What he is showing is not rocket science, but I applaud him for giving the general public a taste of what DJing and EDM is.

    It is right down depressing to see all the negative comment about this, EDUCATIONAL video. For all of you who hated on this video shows the, DAMAGE, in our society. It shows the elements that need to be wiped away so they can no longer create any kind of negative disruption in the growth of our world.
    Here, this kid, take it upon himself to pass on information about a subject in our existence, (which brings much more positiveness than any of you could ever imagen) so that someone out there in the world, who may want to tap into this subject matter and contribute to the well being of the world, can do so.
    I suggest all of you take a good look at yourselves and figure out what the hell is wrong with you, and fix it, and fix it fast!
    I don't care if your young and thats what the young are to do. That's bullshit, and this is the wrong place to be doing it!!
    Learn some f-ing respect!!!!!!!!
    Let there be a day when you find yourself standing infront of a group of people expressing something you have passion for and let there be twice as much hate directed to you so you can feel the crushing weight of disrespect!
    I hope you will be strong enough to stand it. If not, no tears from here.

    Dude as an aspiring DJ his set up makes me melt a little. I wish he would've gone into how you should mix songs in the same scale wether major or minor because I started not knowing anything about rules of music. I obviously know more about music and music theory etc now but it would've been helpful knowing it earlier from the start so you can have more effective playlists.

It's unconventional, and it's not what CDJ DJs would call DJing (he's more of a controllerist, if you ask me), but I like these sort of mashup routines, despite the fact that I'm training myself with the standard cdj mixer layout. He's talented, but he could do a lot more. And I'm not sure if a routine like this represents djing all that well. Not his fault. Nice routine, nevertheless, good to see the crowd on his side.

    "Anyone can DJ now" -
    Not everyone can open for Paul Oakenfold in Vegas at 14 and land a spot on a TV show at 17 all after being homeless.
    "He needs turntables or he's not a real dj"-
    The same way you need a rotary phone to make a real phone call, as opposed to a modern dynamic mobile phone?
    "Must be nice to have $7,000 worth of equipment at 17"-
    He worked for all of it, you could too.
    "Real musicians write their own music"-
    Cole does write his own music, that's what the word "producer" means. Look up "lie to me" by Cole Plante.
    "That drop was weak, don't play animals"- It's a TED talk not an EDC talk.

      +Tanner Witsel He uses Ableton Live which allows him to mix song without any headphones because everything he played was alreadye synced within the software, he just has to push the pads on his APC to play the sounds he wants in perfect timing thanks to quantize function ;)

    • @charliemcghee7832
      @charliemcghee7832 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You only think beat matching is pointless because you've never had to do it. Nothing teaches you more about rhythm and bass than learning how to beat match two tracks together. Saying that beat matching is pointless by relying on the technology is like saying you don't need to know what 2+2 is because a calculator can tell you the result. Don't be so lazy, try using vinyl decks, feel the groove, understand the complexity of everything you do. Perhaps then will you realise what a talentless fraud you are.

      If you've ever played an actual show, you'll know that you wind up talking to and swapping tips and tricks with the other artists, an easy qualification for saying you've "worked with them." And if you're really going to give this 17 year old kid shit for playing the same festivals as Skril or PR, I'd challenge you to do better.

    • @alexvesel1

      +Ben Zhu You know I used to think like that before also. But now that I am a DJ myself theres really a lot more going on then just pressing sync. The most important one is to recognize phases of a song by instinct and being able to know quickly how many beats there are left in any point of a song to the next phase

    • @Svaltz
      @Svaltz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ben Zhu mixing two tracks is easy. thats the most basic stuff but try mixing 1. Looped acapella 2. Looped Melody 3. drumroll the downbeat every end of phase or scratch 4. Apply effects on buildups. Elevate or decrease BPM on buildups. Bring in a drop on the same key..... You are only as good as the imagination and creativity that you have

    • @Justsomeguy1015
      @Justsomeguy1015 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lol what your talking about is producing. Most disk jockeys don't do this and is on another level. I actually do this on my free time with my launchpad. Not that hard and btw you don't really change the bpm unless its from 65 to 130 or anything that is halfed or doubled.

    This kid is a producer as most of the people he stated he worked with... This is a lesson in bringing sounds/music already beat matched in at certain times... Like most producers he knows how to use that FILTER button on the mixer ALOT... Like the famous youtube video "how many djs does it take to turn a knob" lol... but hey I don't blame him, society just needs to change the term to PJ - producer jockey... I "DJ" by the true definition of the word... At the end of the Day this kid isn't hurting what I do at all so more power too him... He also seems like a nice kid, which is another rare thing in todays society... My personal preference however is actual Djing not Pjing... Nothing in this video impressed me... I'd rather he came on and did a talk on how he matched the beats and layed everything out in ableton onto his spampler board, etc etc... As the mixer here was just used as a master volume...! the multiple channels ran through the sampler... "GETTING STARTED AS A PRODUCER" should be the title...

      SymbolX You have to keep in mind what DJ's do.
      They play music for clubs and people who want to hear a lot of common music but something different every now and then wont hurt.
      If a DJ plays nothing but his own tracks, we would run out of tracks quickly and he would be losing people because no one would really know what he was playing.
      Plus, if he plays a very common song and he alters it to make it sound nice, he will be bringing in people from the streets which means more people.

    Fat sounds! It's been over 20 years since I started to DJ, having grown up on Grandmaster Flash and other greats of the time. It is remarkable how much one person can do, as this young man demonstrates very well...now that the previously arduous task of keeping tempos as closely matched as possible is handled by the internal clock. That might have sounded like a snide remark, but it really isn't. I'm stunned at what a high-school kid can do, Digi-DJ, hold a conference, entertain/flirt, (and stutter the shit out of every sound that goes through the desk like an epileptic ferret), all AT THE SAME TIME.

      Reese Brandon I'm a producer/dj with fully functional studio with pro tools HD, ableton and other major Daws. My point here is in no way directed in hatred towards what little man is doing, what I'm hating on is that he's set is pre made already. I noticed how his mixer only has on channel input plugged in and all he is doing is un-muteing channels from his timeline. Now if I'm hiring a DJ for an event weather corporate or a wedding Id like to be able to request songs on the spot that would get played when it can blend with the current set. I'm sure if someone told this kid hey id like for you to play how deep is your love or wanted to hear a hot trap song like Jumpman he'd have a heart attack trying to play it. I been around top ranked Djs that have there whole set pre made and to me the art of Djing is being able to play to the crowd its not about turntable controllers or software its about being able to mash up a record on the spot and change from genre to genre without loosing the crowd.

It's the safest rout to go. If you follow the scene you would see that there are thousands of other artist that make the same music like him with the same pattern and style, it all sounds the same no innovation but people still listen and buy it for some reason...
